Booking the best Pine Knoll Shores rental home experience:

Finding your best deal:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Morehead City area. Booking in Spring or Fall is a good way to save on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• In the Morehead City area, The sooner your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation home six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local Morehead City visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines contain offers and deals for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Selecting the perfect vacation rental:

• Begin by selecting the best vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. “Spivey’s Korner” Ocean Views, Easy Steps to quiet sandy Beach - secure WiFi has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally available online. If you don't see them listed, contact the host before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Visiting for a specific event or attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must reserve a rental that allows animals. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Advice for your stay:

• Add the owner's information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To make certain damages aren't linked to your stay, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. Call the host right away to report your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all belongings. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on great feedback to propel more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
